If we were to potentially get a 3D model of either an Araxie or a Rask for use in animations, which one would you want to see? Please vote below!
Had to do a Patrons-only poll, because someone was messing with the Strawpoll results, unfortunately.

Here's the beginning of a size chart featuring all of the species in the Pinwheel setting with accurate height comparisons. Right now we have a Valbaran Commando, a UNN Marine, and an Araxie Ranger. We'll be adding more to the roster, with Krell, Polars, and Betelgeusians up next.

Happy Holidays guys, hope you're all having a good time. I'll be spending a couple of days doing family stuff, then I'll be back with an extra beefy update. I already got my Christmas wish, which was a ton of supportive readers helping me do what I love! Let's keep the momentum going into the new year and make more cool shit together.

Here's some concept art for the Rask warriors, by Gungulon, who you can check out here: https://twitter.com/gungulon
This Rask is depicted wearing a blend of traditional leather gear and UNN-issued Shock Trooper armor, and she's wielding an XMR modified for use by Borealans.
Here's a wonderful piece of artwork by Rube depicting a pair of UNN Jump Carriers defending a planet from a Betelgeusian incursion. 100mm railguns leave molten trails as they tear through Bug fighter craft, point defense guns paint the sky with bright trails of tracer rounds, and Beewolfs blaze from their launch tubes in search of targets to engage.

Here's the finished concept art for the UNN Jump Carrier, courtesy of Rube. Go show him some love here: https://twitter.com/justrube
The Jump Carrier is the flagship of most UNN fleets. With a length of 400 meters and a beam of ninety, it's one of the largest vessels in the field. It's able to carry between six and ten thousand personnel, and up to ninety aircraft, including up to forty that can be delivered imm...
Here's the concept art for the Rask technicals, courtesy of Gungulon.
Being prohibited from buying armored vehicles by the UNN, the Rask have converted a fleet of civilian vehicles for use in desert warfare, stripping them down to the engine and drive train before rebuilding them to better accommodate their stature.
The Rask technical is fast and fuel efficient, running on a hydrogen engine that gives it a range of about 500km before needing to be refueled. The mounted gun is an XMR usu...

Here's the finished concept art for the Rask Crawlers, courtesy of Gungulon.
Above is the battleship variant, equipped with armaments salvaged from scuttled ships and abandoned bases. It has four autonomous CIWS guns capable of intercepting enemy missiles and aircraft, six naval railguns salvaged from a scrapped frigate, and a missile launcher taken from the bed of a truck. Its purpose is over-the-horizon engagements, remaining out of enemy detection range while providing fire support....
Here's a sneak preview of one of the Rask Crawlers from the upcoming Rask Rebellion story. The crafty felines have modified a cargo crawler of the kind used to transport heavy lift rockets and cargo in spaceports with weapons systems either salvaged or obtained illicitly on the black market. This is just one of several variants, including a carrier version that can launch APCs and technicals, and a command version that houses the Vice Admiral's mobile base.

I'm taking a bit of a sanity break from editing Black Velvet for a few days, here's the start of a short story about a Turian and Human romance from the Mass Effect setting.
Here's the first 20,000 words of Black Velvet, re-edited and run through Grammarly to bring it up to speed with my current stuff. It actually needs a lot more editing than I anticipated. It should take about a week, and then I can make the Retail Ebook.
